- aceGamer
- yea that was me.
- aceGamer
- u got some theor1es e1nste1n?
- curiousAtomist
- Inquiry: How is it you are certain of your lightning-based abilities?
- aceGamer
- great shoulda f1gured the eggheads would have ques+1ons.
- aceGamer
- r1ght so.
- aceGamer
- 1 flarp compe+1+1vely.
- curiousAtomist
- Affirmation: Understood.
- aceGamer
- th1s jealous hack tr1ed 2 call me out, and 1+ was a trap.
- aceGamer
- surpr1se. not.
- aceGamer
- so 1 looted h1s sh1+ after 1 culled h1s goons.
- aceGamer
- there was an orb th1ng.
- aceGamer
- l1ke the sorta abstract sh1+ u c 1n any game ever.
- aceGamer
- glowy ball a l1ght.
- aceGamer
- so 1 d1d wat u do w1+h them. 1 touched 1+.
- aceGamer
- gave me v1s1ons, and now theres th1s vo1ce 1n my head tell1n me 1 am the storms fury or watevs.
- curiousAtomist
- Opinion: Interesting.
- aceGamer
- keeps show1n me zapp1ng th1ngs 2 ash w1th l1ghtn1ng powers.
- aceGamer
- but so far nada.
- curiousAtomist
- Inquiry: And you are certain you are not just insane?
- aceGamer
- p sure.
- aceGamer
- 1 mean 1 do cool sh1+ already.
- aceGamer
- th1s would be l1ke the natural progress1on of my awesomeness.
- curiousAtomist
- Hypothesis: The first idea I have is to determine if you are naturally electrically resistant or conductive. Perhaps you need to be "charged" to produce anything.
- curiousAtomist
- Inquiry: Do you have any batteries with which you might attempt to power yourself?
- aceGamer
- uh, prolly?
- aceGamer
- wut k1nda batter1es?
- aceGamer
- or should 1 just, l1ke, wear woolbeast socks and scoot along a carpeted surface?
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: The more powerful, the better. The point is to see if you can conduct the electricity and store it. Anyone can store static electricity, unless you are a Leyden Jar.
- aceGamer
- a wut?
- → Roland has joined
- curiousAtomist
- Explanation: A glass jar that stores static electricity and can be discharged from a small valve on top.
- curiousAtomist
- Opinion: My assumption is that, no, you are not a Leyden Jar.
- aceGamer
- oh.
- aceGamer
- so lets say 1 f1nd a huge ass battery.
- aceGamer
- how do 1 charge up?
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: You would need to hook it up to a source of electricity. Although most batteries are ordinarily charged to begin with, hence their usefulness.
- aceGamer
- ...
- aceGamer
- dude.
- aceGamer
- u tell1n me 2 go l1ck a battery?
- aceGamer
- lol
- aceGamer
- the sad part 1s 1 dunno 1f ur trollin me or not.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: You are the one convinced you have electrical-based powers. I am merely attempting to find the manner of these powers in the quickest manner possible.
- aceGamer
- 1mma call that both.
- aceGamer
- but hell 1 can stand a l1l zap.
- aceGamer
- g1mm1e a m1nute.
- aceGamer
- 1 got a backup power source 4 my setup 1n my h1ve.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: I will be waiting for a report.
- aceGamer
- ((Just tell me what I'm rolling Bill. I assume damage.))
- Roland
- >Leeroy: you are zapped by the battery. Roll con to not cry a little and lose one HP. DC: 15
- * aceGamer rolls a 7, and cries like a bitch.
- Roland
- THAT'S GOTTA BE EMBARRASSING!
- aceGamer
- AH FUCK!
- aceGamer
- SURPR1SE GRUBFUCKER, L1CK1N A BATTERY HURTS.
- curiousAtomist
- Hypothesis: Then either your abilities are not yet active, or they do not confer any electrical storage capabilities. Or, perhaps, said storage produces a pain response as normal.
- curiousAtomist
- Inquiry: In your visions, are your hands burned or charred in any way?
- aceGamer
- uhh.. no?
- aceGamer
- just the other guys.
- Roland
- Leeroy: roll insight for me.
- aceGamer
- 1 k1nda slam the ground l1ke a superhero.
- * aceGamer rolls 17 insight.
- Roland
- You recall that the enemies are not charred, so much as vaporized in this ultimate release of fury.
- aceGamer
- well, the other guys arent even charred.
- aceGamer
- those b1+ches b ashes.
- aceGamer
- 1 tr1ed slamm1n some guy and all he d1d was go fly1n tho.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Understood.
- curiousAtomist
- Inquiry: Are you certain your abilities are electrically-based?
- aceGamer
- lol wut else would they b?
- aceGamer
- 1 mean a seadweller w1+h zapy powers 1s k1nda we1rd but st1ll.
- curiousAtomist
- Hypothesis: Leaving ashes of your enemies implies that you are not so much electrocuting them as disintegrating them.
- curiousAtomist
- Hypothesis: Perhaps you are destabilizing molecular bonds at a subatomic level?
- aceGamer
- ...huh?
- aceGamer
- uh.
- aceGamer
- how do 1 test that, bra1n1ac?
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Compiling.
- aceGamer
- great 1m get+1n adv1ce from another robot.
- curiousAtomist
- Hypothesis: We need to determine if you can break apart a molecular bond directly, without outside input. Thus, we should see if you can break down a weak molecular bond.
- aceGamer
- 1n engl1sh?
- curiousAtomist
- Explanation: We need to find a weak thing for you to break.
- curiousAtomist
- Inquiry: Do you have any uncooked meat readily available?
- aceGamer
- 1 could do that neway.
- aceGamer
- ...uh.
- curiousAtomist
- Preferably fresh.
- aceGamer
- 1 was ahead of u there dude.
- aceGamer
- 1 tr1ed fry1ng a steak.
- aceGamer
- no go.
- aceGamer
- just stayed raw.
- aceGamer
- 1 can go get someth1n fresh tho.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Hm. Then we must try weaker. Do you have any distilled water?
- aceGamer
- 1 am surrounded by the stuff.
- curiousAtomist
- Inquiry: Do you understand what distilled means?
- aceGamer
- yea yea funny guy.
- aceGamer
- 1 got the salt-free sh1+ too.
- aceGamer
- alr1ght got a bottle of water.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Then we can proceed. There is little in nature which forms bonds weaker than hydrogen itself, which can be found in water.
- aceGamer
- how do 1 zap 1+?
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Distilled water removes the impurities which would potentially interfere with this experiemnt.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Place your hand above the water, as in your visions, and imagine the water itself breaking apart into steam.
- aceGamer
- pff.
- aceGamer
- least 1 cant hurt myself w1+h th1s 1.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Force your will and imagination into both the visualizations of the act, as well as the feelings of power you possess, placing importance on the result.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: This is not unlike psionics, of forcing a change on reality through force of will.
- aceGamer
- a1nt a ps1on1c but alr1ght.
- * aceGamer tries to BELIEVE in the glass of water's ability to dissolve. REALLY REALLY HARD.
- Roland
- >Leeroy: why not roll insight to recall something else? Believe in your own memory instead!
- * aceGamer rolls a 12 to believe in her own memory.
- Roland
- Your memory serves you well! You recall the event that triggered the activation of your strange powers: you dashed more than 30 feet, and suddenly found yourself crackling with electricity.
- aceGamer
- wa1+!
- aceGamer
- 1 th1nk 1 got an 1dea.
- aceGamer
- 1 th1nk maybe 1f 1 charge up by l1ke.. charg1ng?
- curiousAtomist
- Inquiry: Are you attempting a physical pun to activate your abilities?
- aceGamer
- fuck no.
- aceGamer
- hold on 1mma go run on the gangway.
- aceGamer
- dont wanna zap my gear.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Attempt away. I see no harm in this attempt.
- * aceGamer starts sprinting the connecting gangway between the sections of her hive, zipping back and forth whist clutching a bottle of water. This is stupid.
- Roland
- As you reach a certain distance sprinted, you find yourself crackling with electricity. You feel like you could release it in an explosion of fury and aggression!
- * aceGamer EXPLODE THE WATER.
- Roland
- You explode forth, throwing your shoulder into the charge. Roll dexterity to keep the water in the glass.
- aceGamer
- ((It's in a bottle.))
- Roland
- Oh. Whups.
- Roland
- NEVERMIND THEN! WE DON'T LET TRIFLES LIKE CONTAINERS STOP US FROM MOVING THE PLOT!
- Roland
- In that case, the water is unaffected!
- aceGamer
- ((Am I still crackling with electricity?))
- Roland
- Wait... "* aceGamer tries to BELIEVE in the glass of water's ability to dissolve. REALLY REALLY HARD." And no.
- Roland
- As you charge forward, you hear a sound like thunder.
- aceGamer
- "uh.."
- * aceGamer returns to the computer, water intact.
- aceGamer
- so, the bottle 1s f1ne?
- aceGamer
- but 1 th1nk someth1n happened when 1 ran.
- curiousAtomist
- Inquiry: What kind of something?
- aceGamer
- l1ke 1 got all charged up?
- aceGamer
- heard someth1n l1ke thunder.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Then perhaps you've found the correct trigger. I would suggest attempting the same action on a piece of meat, considering what your visions appeared as.
- aceGamer
- 1 can try that.
- aceGamer
- gotta go hunt some down tho.
- aceGamer
- but hey, u actually helped.
- aceGamer
- so thanks robobra1n.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: You are welcome.
- aceGamer
- 1 owe ya 1 dude.
- curiousAtomist
- Statement: Noted.
- aceGamer
- later dude.
- * aceGamer has ceased espering curiousAtomist!
